Here is a compilation of some of the best forehands I've captured! Be sure to watch this video in the highest quality possible or at least in 60FPS😁 Please leave a 👍 if you enjoyed and consider subscribing for more Court Level Tennis coming soon 🎾
How does keeping his elbow bent throughout the swing work? I'm seeing that Berretini does it, too. The elbow doesn't appear to release and straighten (at least somewhat depending on the player) in the follow through in the way you would normally observe. It makes me think he's keeping his muscles tight to do this, but I know he's not. He generates so much power and pop doing it this way, I just struggle to understand the mechanics. Can you explain?
The spin Rafa gets is nuts. He actually doesn't have the most consistent contact in the sweetspot (the polar opposite of Medvedev, who nails it bang in the middle almost every time on both wings), but there's so much spin that most of them still go in if they don't come purely off the frame.
Compilation like this, especially being in court level viewing, is so beneficial for a modern forehand tennis learner. This maybe asking for more - would you do one for a single back handed one as well? Thank you.
Berrettinis moves are the most satisfying to watch in my opinion. Kyrgios: he squeezes out every bit from all of his joints, especially arm and wrist. Makes for incredible shots, but also one reason his joints are done now.
This makes me feel better. You can see that a lot of pro players are a little off balance, a little late on the ball, their timing is a little off, and sometimes they hit the ball off center on the strings. Even in practice.
Great video action Liam, thanks! I would like to use about 15s of your slow motion Alcaraz footage in an analysis video series. I would credit & link to your channel. Would that be ok? Regards Andy
I also noticed everybody's slot positioning is different. Also those who create the most power come out of the slot quicker than those players with moderate power
How does Sinner generate so much power keeping his elbow bent at a consistent angle throughout the swing? (Berretini does it, too.) The elbow doesn't appear to release and straighten (at least to some degree, as it does with other players) in the follow through. It makes me think he's keeping his muscles tight to do this, but I know he's not. It would be impossible to create that much racquet speed with any overly contracting arm muscles. He generates so much power and pop doing it this way, I just struggle to understand the mechanics. Can anyone explain? Is this the forehand of the future?
Casper Ruud is not there ? The best FH on tour ! Some players on this video have a similar technique than Ruud, but he as some more precise details on his technique and position that made a killer FH.
a lot of these guys are on the WESTERN FH. a very attacking fh grip. are they also good in the BH? and how about the switch from FH to BH and back? is a WESTERN grip easy to manage?
@@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten you made the effort to comment on the ratio of players who use Western, but you didn't answer my main question. Troll? use your time wisely. answer my damn question. and if you play tennis, tell me, is a western forehand easy to handle when switching from FH to 2HBH ? or you don't know anything about it?
@@bensonnyborja2008 I'm sorry I thought you were one of those guys who always comments about how "these young players" use extreme grips and that it will always cause injury, when they're just using a normal semi-western grip. That's also why I thought you were asking rhetorical questions, so I didn't answer them. From what I know it doesn't make that big a difference in terms of switching grips from FH to BH (when I switched to a deeper grip I didn't notice a difference). But the most difficult to manage part about it is to still get penetration on your shots and not just height and spin. That's why it's not a recommended grip for amateurs, but these pros are good enough to handle it. For amateurs the best grips are either semi-western (for younger players or people that have never played tennis before) and eastern for older players who already have experience, but have to adjust to modern racquets.
Djokovic's forhand is complete. Next is Dominic Thiem's. However because of his body frame, and lesser body weight, Thiem's forhand is energy consuming and less powerful.

Sinner's forehand is so compact, no strain or effort and crazy-powerful.
How does keeping his elbow bent throughout the swing work? I'm seeing that Berretini does it, too. The elbow doesn't appear to release and straighten (at least somewhat depending on the player) in the follow through in the way you would normally observe. It makes me think he's keeping his muscles tight to do this, but I know he's not. He generates so much power and pop doing it this way, I just struggle to understand the mechanics. Can you explain?
@@WSBMfull western grip. It’s difficult to straighten out with a western
@@WSBM maybe a very low string tension ?
@@lp641 good question. I just discovered yesterday that he strings at 28 kilos/60 pounds, lol!!
The spin Rafa gets is nuts. He actually doesn't have the most consistent contact in the sweetspot (the polar opposite of Medvedev, who nails it bang in the middle almost every time on both wings), but there's so much spin that most of them still go in if they don't come purely off the frame.
Thank you

thank you for your video🙏 감사합니다:)
These guys such have incredible forehands.
so awesome thank you!
GASQUET'S FOREHAND IS JUST MADDENING TO WATCH
Fantastic video!!! Great production.
Thiem’s forehand used to be so powerful with so much spin. Has never been the same after his wrist injury unfortunately.
The same for his drop shots. Used to be the best on clay :((
He changed his technique after injury to avoid future problems, he said this one time …
Excellent quality!
Please do a One-Handed backhand Compilation!!!!!!!
Noted!
awesome stuff!
Good job !

Absolutely, great observation
Karatsev, fognini. Easy compact swings, easy preparation, love them.
indded, man. Mainly Karatsev. Well noticed
Taylor Fritz strong western hammer grip 🔨
Amazing, nice work
Lol super good
Always remember, it’s more beneficial to model your shots off the pros that have the most similar body to you
its nice to see they showed federer first! what nice forehands!
We do love Federer 😅
@@LiamApiladobut its dimitrov
@@ivan_2k1 Yeah it is, I thought they said that bc they have similar strokes
@@LiamApilado mhm
@@ivan_2k1 baby federer
berrettini's is so cool
My favorite ones aren't there but it's those from Jim Courier and Andre Agassi style wise 🥰
特に良いプレーヤーのスイングは、やはり、自然だ。
Nolet's forehand is beutiful ❤
Awesome video, just missing some Bwehs.
More coming soon!
RBA has this old school thing to his forehand
Definitely

anyone know which of these players use semi-western grip?
Does Nishioka use a western grip on his forehand?
Yes I’m pretty certain
Dimitrov uses an Eastern forehand grip?
Do you have a WTA complilation? Id love to show my girl students examples
I can do that. I'll work on an ATP backhand compilation as well as a WTA forehand / backhand compilation although it won't be as long as this one
Why not wta follow the swings here?
4:34
Why is Medvedev the most replayed part of the video :D
why is so short at Djokovic part?
Never knew berretini used a Western grip
Tôi muốn biết trọng lượng cây vợt chưa đan dây của những người này là bao nhiêu?

How rude!
Wish Giron would shorten his swing by like half.
a lot of these guys are on the WESTERN FH. a very attacking fh grip. are they also good in the BH? and how about the switch from FH to BH and back? is a WESTERN grip easy to manage?
Out of all of them only 4 use a western grip, so what are you talking about?

In fact, its a defensive grip, no penetration
@@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten Khachanov, Fritz, Cobolli and...? Schwartzman, Berrettini and Kyrgios are close, but they still look SW to me.
Nadals forehand is so fucking sexy
Great slow mos 👍...just missing Zverev who undoubtedly has one of the best forehands in the world.
/s
Is Berrettini hitting with a kid?
Djokovic's forhand is complete. Next is Dominic Thiem's. However because of his body frame, and lesser body weight, Thiem's forhand is energy consuming and less powerful.
Is it only me? The Sound of a video speed change is super annoying
no Rublev is a failure, as a practice partner he is consistently killing Alcaraz in your video.
All forehand looks the same...from the ground up.
